INTEREST: The Mignogna Deposition

How a person presents themselves says a lot more than a transcript ever could. Vic was acting friendly, charismatic, and positive.

I thought it was quite good, he appeared genuine unlike the other parties who couldn't even make eye contact or a consistent story.

How a person presents themselves says a lot more than a transcript ever could. Vic was acting friendly, charismatic, and positive. Ron was acting nervous and skittish. Monica was stoic and curt. Just look at the line when Lemoine asks Vic if he thinks kissing kids is weird. It comes off much differently in real life than in a transcript when you can add Vic's positive demeanor and how he said. If a guy hits on me and is acting super creepy about it, I can tell it's a no-way situation. Another guy could say the exact same thing, but in a normal or charming way. Social cues matter, fellas

The point here is that Vic supporters use those connections as excuses to dismiss the articles as fictional hit pieces, even though said connections do not, in any way, shape, or form, prove the allegations wrong. (Let alone consider how Vic himself provided statements to the article, which brought his infidelity to light) As for the bolded...I don't even know what you're trying to say with the former considering FUNi didn't lift a finger until January, but Chris already owned up to ANN's failure in reporting on Vic and instead granting him interviews/podcast appearances. (As I cited above -- given you deleted that, there's no way you missed it)

First off, recent twitter activity has been a flurry right now because its been alleged that Nick Riekita who set up the Go Fund Me account, was doing something shady at his former place of work, a bank. My guess, if any, is that the defendants in Vic's lawsuit have already reached out and contacted his former place of employment.

It's not a coincidence that Nick's involvement was brought up in the deposition, and Nick really should be concerned.

Second, the crowdfunding campaign if it actually is being used to sue Vic's enemies, would be proof that Vic filed a frivolous lawsuit because someone gave him money to do so. Had Vic said it would concern him if the GFM was a scam it would have at least offered some sincere testimony that his reputation was important to him.

But that's not what ended up happening in the deposition. He said he wasn't concerned, therefore claims of his reputation being damaged by rumors seem to be inconsistent with his lack of concern that his face and name would be used in a scam.

You do realize that psychopaths are known for feeling no remorse or guilt about the crimes they may commit? Many have already provided examples about famous serial killers who were known for their charisma. Vic having a "positive demeanor" while being questioned about his creepy tendency of kissing actual children might even make him look even worse than if he showed some understanding of how what he did was wrong. As usual, Vic's minions are as bad at defending him as he is.

I don't really get why people would think a lawyer would risk his 25+ year career and firm for a measly $250,000 dollars which is maybe a month's paycheck. Likewise, Nick doesn't see any of the GFM money at all since it goes directly to Beard's IOLTA account, so I don't see how people think Nick is scamming people when he's not seeing a single dime from that campaign. For some reason despite always seeing rules about how no "conspiracy theories" are allowed in these threads posts like this seems to be A-OK and avoid getting pruned.

Nick keeps being brought up because people hate him. Like, obsessively so. That's all it really boils down to. He's rude. He insults people. He has no filter. And he's been a huge threat towards the cancellation of Vic since he got involved, something they have no problems admitting, and now we're at the stage where he's more important than Vic is to these people when they would rather spend large chunks of their legal filings trying and failing to go after him.

Likewise I didn't need anyone to tell me the io9 article was a 'hit piece' because just seeing the emails between Vic and Beth and how Beth completely omitted the vast majority of Vic's responses and answers made it quite clear the article was not about presenting both side of the issue. I mean, when your headline picture is a photoshop of Vic with numerous gropey hands growing out of his body making him look like a supervillain then it's probably not trying to be neutral in the first place

]Body language and social cues are important to neutral people, not to people who already decided if he's guilty or innocent and are going to confirmation bias it.

They talked to Marchi's lawyer and to Rial, but couldn't get Vic or Ty Beard.

And to absolutely nobody's surprise, Rekieta already unleashed his maggots to harrass the woman who wrote the article. Always showcasing they're as rotten as the man they defend

If by harass you mean call the author out for falsely attributing quotes and statements to the wrong parties and spreading misinformation, then sure.
